At this moment, I am doing research online into the form, style, format, etc. of legal depositions from a variety of situations and legal cases. I will apply my new-found knowledge in a short story I will soon be writing for a really outstanding charity event done yearly in Provo, Utah. The Writing for Charity event was started a few years ago by a local guild of professional authors to which I belong, the Utah Children's Writers and Illustrators. The event should be pretty impressive this year, with a conference including critiques from successful novelists, workshops and breakouts, a huge book signing, and even an auction. I don't know if Shannon Hale is offering a lock of her hair to the highest bidder, but if you have to have that, the only place you have a prayer is this event.

As part of the event, a number of authors are contributing to a special themed anthology. I won't say more than that, beyond this little niblet: the character being deposed in my story will not be human.

Now, as I return to work, I submit this blog post as evidence that I have reptented myself from my past as an abusive blog depriver.

Submit the completed petition to the Tribunal office. If your petition is rejected, you should hear back in a few weeks, and you can correct and resubmit your document. If it is accepted, you may need to wait up to a year to hear the decision that has been rendered by the Tribunal, Diocesan Bishop, or even the Pope. If the decision is affirmative, your marriage has been annulled. If the decision is negative, you can always appeal. Thanks a lot.
